itchy skin that bruises

I have blueish/ brown marks on my torso that have gradually spread. I was prescribed an anti fungal cream but it did nothing and currently i am taking Erythromycin but it seems to have made the marks spread and they have started to get a dry skin that isn't itchy or peeling but there is a few marks on my arm and under one of my armpits can anyone help please?

My legs have been covered with bruises (spots all over) for the past 2 months. I think that I am giving myself the bruises by itching my skin so hard, but I usually don't bruise easily. I am not taking any medications and as far as I know I do not have any allergies. I have also not changed any soaps or detergents or my diet. The only thing that has changed is that I moved about 3 months ago and am living in a different climate now.

i have itchy legs also that i scratch, i look like im mule kicking my leg as i use the heel of my left foot to scratch which takes off layers of skin, i just had a blood test and my results did not show liver problems so what else i have a scar on my right leg from as i call it mule kicking once they heal i can go for days with out it itching then all at once im kicking again, but i find that its from the heat and moisture in the air at my work when im home with my legs free to the air im fine

Hi my name is Liz I suffer from extremely itchy skin It's mostly itchy on my legs And I am not allergic to anything too I scratch my legs so hard I leave bruises on them Even my tongue and my fingertips and my lips are itchy I went to the doctor and they don't know what it is either

But a few months ago I was experiencing this itching and developed a rash that kind of looked like round bruises all in a line in the front of my neck. It only happens on my neck area including around my collar bone and back of neck but mostly front of my neck. Does this sound like it could be related to a kidney problem. I only started worrying when I started having back spasms come and go on either side of my back.

I have similar situation ...i have a lot of bruises and my skin is so itchy legs. I am an hepatitis B carrier. I would check with my doctor very soon. Thank for the information.

Hello, From the symptoms the possibility of hives needs to be ruled out. Hives (medically known as urticaria) are red, itchy, raised areas of skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes. They have a tendency to change size rapidly and to move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places, often in a matter of hours. Many cases of hives are "idiopathic," meaning no cause is known. Others may be triggered by viral infections or medications.

Hi! I'm not sure about the itchy skin, but I know that there is a disorder that causes itchy skin - I can't remember the name of it - that is often co-mingled with fibro. You can look into the co-diseases at http://fibromyalgia-symptoms.org/ and I am pretty sure that it is one of the diseases listed there. I also bruise easily, but perhaps not as easily as you. The bruising easily might be a result of a platelet disorder, which there are blood tests for.

Maybe you have an iron deficiency? Pale... itchy skin from dry skin maybe? Not entirely sure, but you should probably go to the doctor and ask for a blood test and their opinion. DEFINITELY should go if you are bruising easily.

or is it because skin irritation happened on same areas that it has now come to a point that difficulty in skin regeneration is happening

If you describe these as bruises then I would assume that these are reddish to violaceous in color.Are they painful or itchy? Are these lesions swollen and blanch to the touch? At this point,one may consider contact or allergic dermatitis but just to allay your fears an immediate consult is necessary.You have mentioned of straining prior to the onset of the lesions.Do you have any associated headaches or dizziness? Any underlying disease like a bleeding problem, diabetes or hypertension?

I have an itchy rash that started on the back of my hands and forearms and has moved to to the inside of the upper arms and ankles. The lower areas of the scalp also itch. Diphenhydramine and cold showers help slightly to relieve the intense itching. It appears as tiny white dots, then the skin turns bright pink when I scratch the itch. There are tiny bruises in the areas of the rash about the size of a dime.

Are you 77, or is that just a random number you used for your avatar name?

I'm having some problems that include extreme fatigue, weird bruises, bone pain(especially in hip and legs), itchy skin all over, cough, and this weird swelling/tenderness in the upper part of my abdomen like on my rib cage on the left side. So I'm curious as to what your initial symptoms were or if you have any ideas or comments on what's been happening with me.

I had unprotected sex with this guy about 2-3 weeks ago and a few days later i started getting all of these small itchy bumps like flea bites ALL OVER my inner thighs and inside of my butt cheeks.They itch really bad!! I noticed now that there are a few on my stomach.I looked up herpes and the pics look NOTHING like them. I thought maybe he had bed bugs or something but why only in these two areas?

very large, painful bruises in response to minor injuries having many bruises without remembering their cause frequently developing bruises that take many weeks to heal bleeding for longer than 10 minutes following an injury Numerous medical conditions and lifestyle issues can cause a person to bruise more easily. The most common include: Medications Medications that thin the blood may cause a person to bleed and bruise more.

there were also other small, non itchy red blotches that appeared BEFORE the actual incident, which seemed to erupt and multiply the day after as well, but did go down in about 5-10 days. i was travelling by foot for more than 8 hours, heavily clothed and carrying a large bag, and assume maybe these red dots were a heat rash, or reaction to friction.. are these common symptoms of anything.. especially HIV??

There was nothing that could have caused the bruises besides the sunburn. What are these bruises from and why do I have them?

A few weeks ago i started waking up to a itchy area in the same spots (ankle knee elbow) that would bout an hr later turn into HUGE PAINFUL BRUISES..At first i thought they were some kind of bug bite, went nuts at the thought so i had a inspection of my home and they found nothing but 1 very old DEAD bed bug.. But today (a few weeks later) woke up at my moms house with the same thing yet again on my elbow forehead and hand ..

s affected mostly my torso and lower backside/upper back thigh area, never my face or limbs. I had raised itchy bumps that would spread all over the area on which it formed. At one point, the length of my torso and almost my entire backside was covered in these bumps, which I had scratched enough for them to bleed a little and then turn into brown, scaly, dried-up scars.
